As EastFruit analysts report, following Kazakhstan, which banned the exports of apples from the country, Belarus has also introduced a similar ban recently. The ban also includes exports to Russia. In addition to apples, onions and white cabbage are also restricted from exports. It seems that the so-called “Eurasian Customs Union” continues to fall apart, and Russia continues to lose opportunities to combat rising inflation.

Isn't Belarus supposed to be on Russias side? I'm confused.

Luka has tried to play both sides for a while, although he’s turned more eastward as the west has shunned him more for the Ukrainian invasion support. Maybe this is an attempt at rapprochement?
